Fact: Casey Veggies knows how to command a crowd. The kid from California has had one hell of a year and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, which is a point that was made very clear at The 2012 Bamboozle Festival last weekend in New Jersey, when the Inglewood native rocked an energetic yet hypnotic, 30-minute set for a beach full of concert-goers.

Casey spoke to AllHipHop.com about the difference in performing for hometown crowds versus crowds of 40,000 at the New Jersey festival, how the fans have responded to his April-released mixtape, Customized Greatly Vol. 3, and most importantly, what’s to come in the future from the 18-year-old. (Hint: three brand new projects!)
